About Herschel
Dr. Herschel Pollard is an AR Psychologist (08-07P) licensed in Arkansas with 58 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, parenting concerns, addictions, grief, trauma and related issues.
Dr. Pollard treats each person as an individual with their own mix of problems and questions. He does not stick to a single school of psychotherapy. Instead he draws on different ways of working to match what a person needs in the moment.
Sessions are practical and conversational. He listens for what matters most and helps people set clear, manageable goals. When priorities change, he adjusts the work so it stays relevant.
He uses client-centered methods that focus on the person's experience. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that have developed over time. Solution-focused techniques are used to build concrete steps for coping and change.
Over many decades he has worked with a broad variety of concerns including parenting, LGBT issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and problems that come with aging, illness, or major life changes. His approach is steady and goal-oriented, aimed at helping people deal with day-to-day strains and longer-term problems.
People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what the person describes, and helps them clarify what matters most. This approach is useful for managing stress, relationship strain, and parenting concerns.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past relationships shape current behavior. It can help people recognize why they repeat certain reactions and open up different choices for handling family or life changes.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and together decide which approach or mix of approaches fits best. That decision can be reviewed and changed as needs shift.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. The practical upside of online work is that it can fit into a busy week more easily, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel. These factors can make it simpler to keep regular appointments and to build on small changes over time.
